Oh no!!! My advice would be to not try to talk for the next 2 or 3 days at least. Keep doing what you're doing (drinking tea, taking halls, etc.) Try gargling with some warm salt water too.

I'll say a few prayers for you too! Everything will be fine -- you WILL get your voice back for you're big day sweetie

Re: So ME the BOTW has larengitis

this might sound totally random but it works for my mom like every winter: boil soda (pepsi or coke) and while its boiling, take to limes and stab slits around the middle while everything is boiling carefully squeeze the limes down (she uses a potato masher to do this) and then drink your soda tea with lime its not that bad supposedly between the lime and the carmel in the soda its an awsome cough syrup and soothes your throat....other than that i guess rest rest rest!

Re: So ME the BOTW has larengitis

When I have vocal trouble (it usually hits me by Thursday) I really try not to talk to ANYONE all night once I get home. The minute I get up, I have my throat coat tea and drink it aaalllll day long. It has made such a different- always always keep your throat moisturized that way!

Did you get yourself some throat coat tea? You will LOVE it!!!

Humidifier might help now too to keep your throat from drying when you're sleeping! GOOD LUCK!!!

Oh and PS my friend has vocal trouble and her ENT told her not to use Halls....I don't remember why. I would think Ricollas might be a good option- they're very soothing. Get the honey ones!
